Quick progress update... Paint, gloss coat, and one side of decals are done!

You can clearly see the decal film at this point, but that will go away after another clear coat and weathering.

On a side note, Paul's decals are top notch! I pushed my luck and applied the tiny "Keep Safe" and trust lettering, all of which is legible. I sourced the ACI and COTS decals from Microscale sets.

Subject: EL 40-foot rebuilds in N (work in progress)

I found some time this weekend to finish detailing a pair of IM 40-foot boxcar kits, to be finished as Meadville rebuilds. These N scale kits allow you to use different end/roof combinations on the 10'6" core.

The first one represents a 1941 build, with 5/5 ends and panel roof (74500-74999 series).

The second one represents late-40's construction, with R+3/4 ends and Stanray diagonal roof (70250-71845 series).

I added the reinforced side sill on both, and used BLMA etched grabs and short brass ladders on the A ends. Paint and decals are next!
